293 32nd Bridge of Peace

"Starting today, the Empire will officially conclude a trade treaty with the Demon Kingdom, and hereby declare that it will connect this Belu of Murdeen with the Demon King City of the Demon Realm!"I hope that today will be the first day to commemorate the enduring friendship between demons and humans..... "

Two years after the battle with the demon king.At present, Cliff, the emperor, was giving a cool speech in front of the gate connecting the demon world and the human world.

And next to it, Guru, the demon king, stood cool again.

Yeah. It's good to have this day safe.

“Thank you so much for your time.”

After the speech, I bowed my head to Cliff, who was sitting next to me.

I'm really sorry that I kept you busy for the last two years.

“No, thank you for letting me do the work that will make history.”

Sure, today is going to be a historic day.

After all, the human and demon worlds, which have not been involved for hundreds of years, will begin to interact in earnest today.

I am very excited about how we will develop each other by mixing our cultures together.

That said, I was surprised two years ago when Leo suddenly said he wanted to build a gate that would connect him to the demon world.

I was more surprised that you gave me permission for two things.

When I returned from the demon world, I immediately went to see Cliff with the pictures I had taken in the demon world and the ore that was only available in the demon world.

While I was in the demon world, I prepared a presentation that I had made with Guru and Frank, but it was a little complicated to get permission without giving me time.

Well, after refusing anyway, I think Leo's negotiation technique would have shaken my neck vertically anyway.

"That's not true."It was my best friend's request, so I was going to do my best to negotiate. "

If Leo does his best, I won't be able to hit you like a hand.

Is that so?

Well, if you'd listened to our presentation, I'm pretty sure you were confident we'd get permission.

That's right. I can't defy Leo, who runs the world from the back.

"I don't have any other cows."

I've never been involved in the politics of another country.

Everyone is a little impressed with me, but they're free to do it.

"Well, I'll leave the joke here."The reason for the instant resolution of this matter... is because I wanted to meet with the Demon King. "

Isn't this the end of the joke?

Cliff-san can't give permission for a reason like that, can he?

"No, I'm serious."I wanted to see for myself what kind of person the legendary demon king was, and I thought Leo couldn't be out of line with someone he recognized as his best friend. "

"So... what was the demon king like?"

"Before I met you... I heard you were the strongest person in the demon world, so I thought you were so scared that I couldn't stand up because my body was so big that I was stunned."

So, you were surprised at that look, right?

It's the opposite of what I imagined.Recently, I've grown up, but I'm short, and I look cute like a kid.

“Yeah, I'm surprised I'm not under any pressure and I'm really easy to talk to.”

"That's good."

"He's a funny guy, isn't he?I have a unique idea, but I have the happiness of the people and the world, and I have a solid core.That's why I can understand Leo's admiration for his best friend. "

I'm glad to have that kind of evaluation as a best friend.

I can count on you, but I thought you were the only funny guy who made me sick.

Wow, ahhhh!

Oh, it looks like the first team from the demon world is finally here.

Looking at the loud cheers, Estella and Kee led the demons out of the gate.

If it had been fifty years ago... this would have been a scream.

Master Leonce, it's been a long time.

"It's been a long time."

Cliff shook hands with Kee, and I shook hands with Estella to welcome the demons.

Then, the children shake hands with each other.

"Um, uh... this!"

Looking at the children, Keel-kun was shy and offered Nelia a small box decorated with a beautiful ribbon.

"Then you don't understand." What is this? "

"Pu, gift!"

With Kee's help, I finally managed to give Neria a present.

Caught by Keel's bright red face, Neria's face was rarely red.

"Ah, thank you... can I look inside?"

Yeah.

What's this?

"It's a magic stone that I've been using for two years."Neria's father also used magic stones as a gift when he was young..... "

You know better than that. Did Estella tell you that?

"Fufu. Thank you. Now, I'll give you this in return."

That said, Neria took one of the magic stones out of her pocket.

It was a magic stone that Neria was always pouring out in her spare time.

Th-this is Neria's magic stone?

"Yes. I always use it to train my magic power."I'll use it from today, so use Keel over there. "

"Um, yeah! This will make me stronger!"Enough to protect Nelia! "

"Fufu. Good luck."

... is it like this for a father to give his daughter to his daughter-in-law?A little complicated, like a happy lonely one.

Neria, who is laughing unusually, made me think of it.

"Neria-chan... was she such a talkative girl?"

Neria is still talking to me like Rosé.

Well then, that's all that matters to Neria-chan, isn't it?

I think so ~

Please don't let me tell you that I'm feeling complicated right now.

"Oh, that's good." If the future demon princess becomes a royal family, the future of the human world and the demon world will be brighter as well. "

"I don't know yet." Neria and the others were only six years old.I think there will still be a lot of encounters going on. ”

That's right. Not yet, but Neria is going to be my daughter-in-law.

"Hmph. How old was Sherry when she fell in love with Leo?"

"Well, uh... it was the first time I saw you... maybe four or five years old?"

Is that so?

"Well, it's not necessarily the same as my parents..."

Ten years from now, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm looking forward to it.

"Oh, yeah. I'm really looking forward to it."

At least marry a nice guy.I won't admit it if I don't!

I sent it to my daughters who were laughing happily.
